With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

    I bought these hoping they would block the sound of our tv and my husband offering his advice to the various sports teams being broadcast on said tv. THEY WORK!!!! I can relax on our comfy sofa, connect to music or a video and not hear a single thing he says or SHOUTS at the tv. It's pure bliss.

    The ANC on these are honestly some of the best I've ever used. However, the sound quality is a bit lower than I expected. The build quality of these are also absolutely horrendous as they have broken from just sitting on a shelf of an extended period of time.

      Hi EliC, thanks a lot for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear you’re enjoying the noise cancelling on the WH‑1000XM5s, but we're really sorry to hear the sound and build did not fulfill your expectations. The headphones definitely shouldn’t be breaking like that, so we recommend reaching out to our service center, Encompass, for a low-cost repair: https://sony.encompass.com/parts-accessories/Sony-Repair-Services

      For the sound, you might also want to try adjusting some of the EQ settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app, it can make a big difference depending on what you’re listening to.

      Thanks for considering Sony and for bringing this to our attention.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US

    The audio is great. Noise canceling is better than my 4 year old Bose QC2s. Ear cups fit me perfectly, but a bit toasty. The biggest downside is the head band. It's incredibly narrow so the weight is all focused on that narrow bit and after about an hour wearing them your head starts hurting. Otherwise great.

    I bought these Sony headphones for myself for a long trip and then a 2nd pair for my wife and we both enjoyed the a little more quiet during our flights over seas and back. I like that we can update the headphones and control them with the app on our phone. Easy peazy purchase at Best Buy
